Wonderful!!! I would definately follow Gene's instructions. I saw it on the show, and could not wait to make it. As I read the recipe, I knew it was not what Bobby did. The addition of the cream BEFORE the butter and while it is still warm is the key. I also would not reccommend making this ahead of time. One reviewer stated it was a "Lemon Butter" if you watch the show you would know it is a Lemon Butter SAUCE!!
It is also one of those recipes that work well for multi-picky-eater families. I do not eat fish or seafood, but my husband loves it. This was perfect for him to have his seafood and me to have my chicken. Sauced both as they were plated and the orzo on the side, extra sauce in the middle...LIFE IS GOOD!
Also, listen to M...Null beats up every recipe posted. I think null, null stands for his/her cooking and hobbies!!

I found the butter overpowering. One of my three kids enjoyed it. They liked the fish but not the pasta.

Made this tonight after seeing Bobby grilling it earlier today. My room mate who is quick to let me know if he thinks a recipe is not great loved it. Read this recipe and was initially confused. The first paragraph is not what Bobby did. He cooked the wine, lemon juice and shallots together until reduced by half. Then he added "a splash" of heavy cream. Next he added the butter a tablespoon or so at at time and continued to mix it This should be done off of the heat or at very low heat so the sauce does not break or separate. The capers are then mixed in at the end. No refrigeration of 30 minutes.
I used blackening seasoning on the fish and it complimented the sauce. Overall the sauce is quick to make and would impress guests.

With five people in our family, it's difficult to find recipes that everyone loves. Well, everyone loved this, even my two kids who thought they hated tilapia. This sauce would be great on just about anything. I doubled the recipe, making it as directed. I did change one thing, though. I used cilantro instead of flat-leaf parsley. We're cilantro people. I didn't find the sauce to be too lemony at all. It was just perfect. I'm looking forward to eating the leftovers today for lunch. Thank you, Bobby. This will become a regular.

I have made this on several occasions and everyone always raves about it. Make sure to follow the directions done by one of the reviewers, the recipe on Food Network is not clear.

Made this last night and it was delicious. Didn't read the reviews until tonight. The lemon butter is supposed to be a butter--not a sauce. I did have to beat mine with a mixer to get it combined even using the cream--did add a bit more than a splash of cream. Read the recipe wrong and put the capers in my orzo and it was great. Thanks, Bobby.

I made this with salmon instead because that is what I had at home. I read
the reviews, but decided to use the juice of both lemons as the recipe called
for. We liked it a lot. I didn't think it was too lemony at all. My son dabbed up all
the extra sauce on his plate with french bread. Thanks for another great recipe.

I made the fish dish, simply because it required limit ingredients. I really wasn,t expecting much. Boy was I pleasantly surprised! My son & boyfriend thought it was VERY good! The capers took it up 1 notch!!! I think I will use only 1 lemon the next time around, but overall an excellent meal.

I read several of the reviews before making this-I didn't see the show and instructions like when to add the cream to prevent separating should be stated in the recipe. I debated how much lemon juice to add-went with 1 lemon but it didn't seem to be enough with a whole stick of butter. I think it depends on how big and juicy your lemons are-maybe it should be 3 tablespoons of juice? Just think this recipe needs tweaking a bit-also added more shallots for flavor.
